Recenzii

"This is a timely and important collection of papers on social innovation and sustainable consumption from leading researchers from across Europe. The thirteen chapters explore in different ways the relationships between and potential contributions of social innovations to sustainable consumption across a range of areas. But what comes across most strongly for me is that at a time when it is very easy to feel despondent about ‘our leaders’ really getting to grips with the issues, and in many cases just reworking old formulae, this book shows us that social innovations open up possibilities and opportunities, are happening now and are involving citizens themselves taking control and acting. Moreover, their potential impact extends beyond the environmental to a radical rethinking of social and economic relations."  David Uzzell, Professor of Environmental Psychology, University of Surrey, UK
"This edited collection works well by connecting the all-important details of social innovation with the powerful structures in everyday consumption. Through attentive and engaged research, the contributors articulate the many ways that social innovators are overcoming seemingly unfavourable conditions and help mobilise more sustainable futures today." Adrian Smith, Science Policy Research Unit, University of Sussex, and co-author of Grassroots Innovation Movements, UK
